OSU picked by media to win Big 12

Oklahoma State has been chosen by Big 12 media members who regularly cover the league to win the 2013 conference championship in football.

The Cowboys earned 15 of the 43 first-place votes to tally 365 points. Oklahoma was second with 355 points and eight first-place votes.

OSU will be bidding for its second Big 12 title in the last three seasons after winning its first Big 12 title in 2011.

The poll was interesting as Texas was chosen to finish fourth and Baylor earned its first first-place vote ever as the Bears finished fifth. KSU, which won the conference’s Bowl Championship Series bid last season and had the most players on the preseason All-Big 12 team, was sixth.
